Confirmation of loss of contact with Voyager 2, currently approximately 21 billion kilometers from Earth. On July 21, commands sent from Earth to Voyager 2 accidentally caused Voyager’s High Gain Antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. Therefore Voyager cannot currently receive messages from Earth or send messages in the direction of Earth. A…
The Manhattan Project nicknamed the Trinity Test was the most top secret nuclear test conducted by the United States. The movie Oppenheimer was released about it.Only a handful of people knew about it…after the test America dropped the nuclear bomb on Japan. But after this trinity test there was another group in this world who…
As far as we know, the universe is made up of fundamental particles like electrons and quarks. Everything we see in the universe, including ourselves, is the result of interactions between these particles. Fundamental forces mean interactions of elementary particles. Four fundamental forces have been identified. They are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force…
Virgin Galactic: $ 250,000 for a 2 hour suborbital flight at 80 km altitude;Blue Origin: Approximately $ 300,000 for a 12-minute suborbital flight at 100 km altitude;Axiom Space: $ 55 million for a 10-day orbital flight;Space View: $ 125,000 for a 6-hour flight to the edge of space (32 km above Earth).
Today, (January 12, 2022), the fourth qualifying test of the Cryogenic Engine (CE-20 E9) for the Gaganyan program, 720 seconds long, was conducted at the ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC) (Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu). The engine performance met the test objectives and the engine parameters were matched to the expected level throughout the test.This successful experiment is…
Many people have heard of a movie called Interstellar. The interstellar space begins where the Sun’s magnetic field ends. This region is beyond the solar system. To be more precise, the interstellar region begins where the true boundaries of our solar system end. A group of scientists have devised a plan to send creatures to…
Many people have seen pictures of a volcanic eruption called Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The epicenter was reported below the Pacific Ocean floor, however; no tsunami alert was issued. With each volcanic eruption, large amounts of ash, dust, and vapor are released. Depending on their strength, these dust particles can reach very high altitudes….
When completed in 2029, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will be the world’s largest optical telescope capable of taking pictures of the universe with 10 times the resolution of the Hubble Telescope. It is being built at the Los Campanas Observatory in Chile at a cost of $ 1 billion. It has 7 primary mirrors…
Video that gives us an idea of the Earth’s Rotation of the Earth, which causes day and night on our planet.Most of the timelapse videos of the night sky that we see are about the stars moving above the stationary earth, because it is filmed in a fixed / static manner without camera rotation.However, in…
The photo was taken during Einstein’s 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951 AD, after photojournalist “Arthur Sasse” asked Einstein to smile at the camera to take a picture, but he chose instead of a wide smile, and took out his tongue with the intention of sabotaging the picture, he was bored and did not want…
Satellite images collected over a period of 2 hours show the ash and vapors emitted following the volcanic eruption. Images taken by Himawari 8, Japan’s meteorological satellite. The epicenter was reported below the Pacific Ocean floor, however; no tsunami alert was issued.
